** The series has continually shown that Madison and Alicia are not exactly the smartest or at least not the most well equipped to deal with an apocalypse scenario. They were too panicked at the time to realize they left the door open.

However, the military in Fear the Walking Dead are meant to be villainous and stupid, so they cannot do anything that would actually stop the zombie apocalypse, and prevent the show from continuing.

** More puzzling is why Matt makes no attempt to explain his bite. Wouldn't you be freaked out and mention that some crazy person got into your home, attacked you, bit you & now you're sick? If only to warn your girlfriend to watch out, if nothing else! Yet Matt is completely calm, as though he has flu. Likewise, no one else shows any curiosity as to the circumstances. You'd think Travis and Maddy would want the information so they know what to look out for and Alicia, who is completely unaware Walkers are running around is even more baffling in her disinterest..

* Strand's circumstances in the first season are somewhat illogical. He's shown to have a beachfront home - on the other side of the city, far away from the area where the command post/prison was set up. It's not clear how or why he was brought there in the first place, especially when he regards the Clarks' neighborhood as something he hasn't heard of in a while and it was stated that there were multiple safezones erected throughout the city. Despite the soldiers checking his temperature, he never seems to display any sort of symptoms and actually has a good rapport with one of the soldiers, to the point that soldier intended to bust him out and take him along when he escaped. And if he had a boat in the first place, why didn't he leave days before once he realized things were getting bad?
